  1 Hi all

I would like to add a photo of a P425 from Osram. I can see there are various Models (Madzda, Lissen) and I'm not sure if the photo goes under the common tube type or a new Model? Can someone help me out.

Thanks

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Please load to the P425_Mazda_Marconi.   These are closely the same and differ in detail from the other tubes of the same name.

Many thanks and best regards,

Roy

If a tube has the same designation and the same values - but quite different looks (bulb, base material etc.) then a member can create a variant, giving a short differency as name and filling in some text into the notes. The most important is - after acceptance of the variant to load up the pictures for the variant.

I believe that the P425 is not a common Europe but a common UK valve. Either Roy Johnson or Peter den Boer might know and change if that is right. What I don't know is if we can say it is UK and Commonwealth if common Britain - or if we should differenciate ... and have two different common for that.
